Steps:
- Place the warm water, salt, softened butter, egg, sour cream, 3 1/2 tablespoons of sugar, flour, and yeast into a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer, select the dough cycle, and start the machine. Check the dough after about 5 minutes of mixing, and add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of water or flour if the dough is too dry or wet.
- Mix 1/4 cup of sugar, the cinnamon, 2 1/2 tablespoons of melted butter together in a bowl. Grease a baking sheet, and set aside.
- When the dough cycle is finished, remove the dough and roll out to a 10x28-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the cinnamon-butter mixture over the dough, and sprinkle on an even layer of pecans. Pick up one of the long edges, and roll the dough into a 28-inch long log.
- Place the rolled dough onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, and form the dough into a ring. Moisten the ends of the dough with a little water; pinch the two ends together to seal. Cover the dough ring with a cloth or greased plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Mix the confectioners' sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons of melted butter, vanilla extract, and just enough milk to make a smooth but not thin glaze.
- Remove the cake from the oven, and cool for about 10 minutes on a wire rack. While the cake is still warm, spoon the glaze onto the cake, allowing drips of glaze to dribble down the sides of the cake. Immediately sprinkle the cake with alternating bands of purple, green, and yellow colored sugar. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.

MARDI GRAS KING CAKE
The person who gets the bean in their portion of this wonderful sweet bread becomes ruler of the day (or week) at Mardi Gras time in New Orleans. Even though this is a traditional holiday bread, it's wonderful ANY time of year. The mixing and heavy kneading may be done in the bread machine, if desired. From an old Family Circle cookbook.

Steps:
- Combine butter or margarine, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, and salt in a small saucepan.
- Heat slowly until butter is melted; cool to lukewarm.
- Beat four of the eggs in a large bowl with a wire whip; stir in milk mixture.
- Sprinkle yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar into warm water in a cup.
- Stir until yeast dissolves; allow to stand until mixture bubbles (approximately ten minutes).
- Add to egg mixture, blending well.
- Add lemon and orange rind.
- Mix flour into egg mixture, one cup at a time to make a stiff dough.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured pastry cloth or board; knead until smooth and elastic (about ten minutes), adding only enough extra flour to keep the dough from sticking.
- Place in a large greased bowl; turn dough to coat all over with shortening.
- Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk.
- Punch down; knead a few times and divide in half.
- Using the palms of your hands, roll half into a 20" rope; lift ends and twist loosely one or two times.
- Place on a large greased cookie sheet in a half circle.
- Repeat with the other half of the dough, pinching the ends of the ropes together to form a large ring about 12 inches in diameter.
- Lift the ring slightly at one side and push the bean about an inch into the dough from the bottom.
- Cover and let rise again until double.
- While the dough rises, beat remaining egg in a small bowl and brush over dough.
- Preheat the oven to 375F during the second rising.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until a golden brown and the bread gives a hollow sound when tapped.
- Slide carefully from the baking sheet to a wire rack; cool thoroughly.
- Before serving, mix the powdered sugar slowly with water until smooth and of drizzling consistency (you should only need a couple of tablespoonsful of water).
- Drizzle over the ring and decorate with candied citron and sprinkles.
